“TISERRACE SOD” 
LAWN GRASS SEED. 
A special mixture of grasses best suited for 
sowing on terraces, railroad. embankments 
and side hills—grasses that produce strong, 
spreading roots, ‘thus preventing heavy rains 
from w ashing them out: that will withstand 
drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, 
and at the same time produce a rich, velvety 
green turf throughout the season. There need 
be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into 
your lawn by sowing this mixture, for though 
strong-rooted, the grasses are equally as fine 
as those used in the ‘‘ Henderson ”’ mixture.

35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 ats., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush.

sive rains of this summer have not caused a washout.”

LAWN GRASS SEED. 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots 
under the shade of trees, which have baited all ef- 
forts to get into grass, but with this mixture there 
need be no further difficulty. It is a combination 
of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties, which in 
their wild or natural state are to be found growing 
in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. 
Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is fre- 
quently ‘‘ sour,”’ and if the drainage is defective it is 
apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. 
In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the 
rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or 
forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective 
and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed 
by the use of a sharp rake.
